Study Notes
Basal Lamina Composition
- The bulk volume of the basal lamina is made up of proteoglycans.
Role of Proteoglycans
- Proteoglycans play a crucial role in the basal lamina by providing mechanical strength and filtration properties.
Proteoglycan Structure
- Long chains of glycosaminoglycans are attached to the protein core of proteoglycans.
